Oral and Transdermal
Sodium bicarbonate can be used intravenously, orally, can be vaporized in a nebulizer, used in douches and enemas and transdermally by putting considerable quantities in ones bathtub or by making a lotion from dissolving bicarbonate in just enough water to put all the powder into solution. Bicarbonate is the universal mainstream treatment of acidosis and is used by oncologists to neutralize the heavy acid nature of their chemo agents, which are quite dangerous to the patient. It is also used routinely in many clinical situations:
1) Severe diabetic ketoacidosis[1]
2) Cardiopulmonary resuscitation[2]
3) Pregnancy[3]
4) Hemodialysis[4]
5) Peritoneal dialysis[5]
6) Pharmacological toxicosis[6]
7) Hepatopathy[7]
8) Vascular surgery operations[8]
Medics and doctors are used to participating in a flurry of activity when trying to save a person who’s had a cardiac arrest — inserting IVs, placing a breathing tube, performing defibrillation to restart the heart. Sodium bicarbonate is a constant performer – literally a workhorse medicine performing consistently and safely under such conditions.

Sir,
I am using magnesium oil with good success, I can tell because of the muscle relaxing and pain reducing effects. However, I am a little confused over how to properly use bicarbonate. I hope you will respond to let me know if I am doing something I should or should not be doing. I am making and consuming my own magnesium bicarbonate water. I am using the method popular on the internet which is to react magnesium hydroxide(milk of magnesia) with carbonated water then dilute down with purified water for drinking.
I enjoy being educated on your website but I feel it needs more ‘how to do’ information. More specifics on dosing etc. would be helpful.
Thanks,
Dave

hi just wondering if taking 1 tsp of baking soda in air temp filtered water with a dash of pure maple syrup each day first thing in the morning would have any detrimental side effects..i have Aspergers(AS)which creates acid condish, plus malabsorption problems mostly from low hydrochloric acid levels etc etc.. doing all the right foods i.e.organics,no ‘badies’..will be starting on the trans-Mg very soon also,so would be great if you have the answer to my ‘wondering’..thanks..its brill Dr Sircus that you have given us hope to become ‘weller’
It would be best to take the sodium bicarb on an empty stomach. This may very well increase the hydrochloric acid content in the stomach. Also, it would be better to split the daily dose into two, in the morning and evening. If you notice excess gas cut down on the amount being used.
I have CIN II Preinvasive cervical cancer. I was diagnosed with CIN III, more severe, 3 years ago and had a LEEP done to remove the tissue and after that it was all gone. Now I recently went back in to the DOC and the CIN II is back – and I am supposed to have a LEEP again. This is technically the 3rd time because last time they cut out two deep layers of this. If I do this, I may greatly increase the possibility of miscarrying a child if I ever have any more kids. I have one now – and I am 27. I really want to do this treatment – and I am not sure how I should do this – I read I should make a douche or do I buy this from the store or what do I do? Is it safe? If this works for me, I will spread the word about it worldwide. Thank you for any info you may have.
